The lids are easier to drill through, do not rust and can be painted or decorated very easily. I use the pumps out of the small hand soap containers that I buy on sale and if the tubing is not long enough I can get more tubing at my local hardware store or even the pet dept at WalMart (think fish tank tubing).

I used it on some chrome bath towel fixtures. If it isn't Rustoleum, it is definitely at Lowes. Not too expensive. They also make a spray paint just for plastic. I used black on some $4 plastic urns and now they look like cast iron on my front porch. Don't be afraid to look beyond just what color you are considering. :) Chances are, they make something for it!CheraleeShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868575410528001444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3783658016845549612.post-19312936219104048482013-03-28T12:52:08.570-07:002013-03-28T12:52:08.570-07:00Great Idea, but if you just buy the metal pumps at...Great Idea, but if you just buy the metal pumps at onedreamdesign. com the aesthetics of the whole thing will look better...Great ideatreelight1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02478728642468301975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3783658016845549612.post-42096843397715403642013-03-27T11:14:50.195-07:002013-03-27T11:14:50.195-07:00Did you try putting clear nail polish over the mov...Did you try putting clear nail polish over the moving parts of the pump?Linda K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3783658016845549612.post-44962216008793096982013-03-17T23:17:06.198-07:002013-03-17T23:17:06.198-07:00Hi!

I suggest that instead of pouring out the liquid soap in dispensers where you want to salvage the pump, you use it for making insecticidal soap for killing the bad insects on your green non-flowering, non-food plants - please be careful about using it around pets and kids since most soaps contain harmful chemicals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3783658016845549612.post-66813537488320532812013-03-06T12:16:40.658-08:002013-03-06T12:16:40.658-08:00great tutorial, made one but never that nice, GREA...great tutorial, made one but never that nice, GREAT hints..<br /><br />KarenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01004155201426274017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3783658016845549612.post-9333859868409287752013-02-20T08:20:09.024-08:002013-02-20T08:20:09.024-08:00Thanks!

I bought a replacement pump top (for an expensive pump) for $3 at Lowes. I've also replaced a pump top by simply buying a whole soap pump at the dollar store, or even a really ugly clearance one (with a nice pump piece ... they are fairly standarized) in the clearance section at Target or Home Goods. Its easy to find a cheap clearance soap pump that you can scavenge the part from.Joe Catalanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12985165590723983294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3783658016845549612.post-59249466579250103172013-02-19T20:06:08.710-08:002013-02-19T20:06:08.710-08:00I have an idea.

Depending on the size of the jar, I'd be surprised if you cant find yourself an empty bottled water or soda bottle (you may need to slice off the top) or something like that that which would fit in snuggly inside... just something to make yourself a liner. I'm actually thinking for a smaller one, those little stubby water bottles that hold like 5oz, might fit nicely all intact.
